Continental Food Bar

Continental Food Bar is a busy crossover takeaway on Market Place in central Belper, working the rare combination of Indian curries, pizza, kebabs and burgers from one kitchen. It is one of the higher-volume takeaways in the town centre, with over fourteen hundred customer ratings on the takeaway aggregators averaging four stars, and a Food Standards Agency rating of 5 (Very Good) confirmed in January 2025.

The Indian side runs the standard British curry-house list — bhuna, dhansak, dopiaza, jalfrezi, korma, the chef-special section — with reviewers calling out fresh naan and the chicken tikka in particular. The kebab and pizza side trades on doner kebabs that customers repeatedly describe as the best they have ever had, plus pizzas with generous toppings that hold up against the dedicated pizza shops in town. It is a halal kitchen on the meat side.

Reviews are mostly positive — friendly counter service, prompt orders — though peak-time orders have on occasion suffered the slow service and cold containers common to busy weekend nights. Worth ordering ahead at weekends.
